This is just a redistribution of the original software by

with the intention to bring it back to the public conscience.

This software is for use on your PC and it allows you

to perform a portscan of your localhost. No responsiblity 

is taken over if this portscan is used with other targets.

A port scan is not an crime, nor an attack, nor even a 

nuisance. It is no different in spirit from counting the 

windows of a building from a public sidewalk, or observing 

the number of doors.


Installation on Windows:
========================


ZAPATISTA TRIBAL PORT SCAN APP
===============================

Runs on all platforms.

The App also performs a port scan on target
when using a VPN connection for privacy.


Instruction below is for Windows systems.

1. Unzip the downloaded ztpsapp.zip
   Copy the folder ztpsapp to your computer
   (for example to C:\ drive)

2. Open the File Explorer and locate the file 
   ztps_start.bat inside folder ztpsapp.
   Create a desktop shortcut for ztps_start.bat

3. It is recommended to start
   zpts port scan by double click on the
   desktop shortcut for ztps_start.bat

   You can skip steps 4-6 if you use
   ztps_start.bat to start ztps port scan.

4. Open the dos command line by clicking on 
   Start - search field
   and type "cmd"

5. Change to the path of installation
   (for example to C:\ztpsapp\)
    
   C:\> cd ztpsapp

6. Start the ztps port scan as a java application
   by typing in cmd:
    
   C:\ztpsapp> java ztps

6. By default, the target is "www.rwe.com".
   To change the target site, simply click in 
   the gray text area, enter a new site, and press 
   Enter (or return). 

7. You may also invoke ztps port scan with the 
   following command line arguments:
   
   C:\ztpsapp> java ztps <target_domain> <alternate_message_text_file>

   Examples:

   For a port scan of localhost (your computer):

   C:\ztpsapp> java ztps 127.0.0.1

   For a port scan of the Whitehouse webserver:

   C:\ztpsapp> java ztps www.whitehouse.gov

   C:\ztpsapp> java ztps www.whitehouse.gov mymessages.txt

8. <target_domain> can be a web address (URL) or
   an IP address of the target server. To find out
   the target IP of for example www.google.com, 
   type in the command line:
   
   C:\ztpsapp> ping www.google.com



What is Zapatista Tribal Port Scan doing?
=========================================

The Zapatista Tribal Port Scan uses the Java Virtual 
Machine available in all standard web browsers to 
implement the port scan. The participating user simply 
visits the web site URL of a ZTPS implementation, and 
the scanning begins.

Designed to be opened in a smallish browser window and 
minimized for all day scanning at home, work, or school, 
the ZTPS applet will scan a random port on a particular 
machine, from once per minute to once per hour, selectable 
by the user. 

Using both TCP and UDP socket connections, ZTPS may be 
configured to randomly select from a list of text messages, 
some of which may be logged by targeted machines. (Messages 
flying over the fence.) A download button in the applet 
interface makes it easy for users to download the ready-made 
software, and full source code for their own purposes. 

ZTPS effectiveness improves with the number of participating 
user/activists, so collective participation, as always, is 
very important.
